2 ft 9 in x 3 ft 1/4 in x 0.94 mil. Environment friendly products. No plasticizers & no polyethylene. 33 gallon (fits up to 33-gallon cans). Made with GMO-free potatoes. Certified compostable by the biodegradable products institute.

What Makes Potato Starch Strong? Starch is a mixture of a linear (amylose) and a branched (amylopectin) polymer of glucose. Potato starch has a higher percentage of amylopectin than either corn or wheat starch. The structural integrity of starch is due to amylopectin, so this helps make If You Care Certified Compostable Bags stronger than bags made from corn starch. Any Other Reasons for Potato Starch? The potato starch used to make If You Care Certified Compostable Bags comes from starch potatoes, which are not grown for food but only for starch production. These potatoes are too high in starch to be good for food. Therefore, there is no diversion from food supplies. To produce the same amount of starch from these potatoes as from corn requires 40% less land. These potatoes require no irrigation, and need only normal rainfall. Corn requires much more water. Product Lifecycle: Materials: Potato starch from non-GMO starch potatoes - grown for starch, not for food. Blended with certified fully compostable polymer. No plasticizers.

No polyethylene. 100% certified compostable. Potato starch from non-GMO potatoes. Potato Starch from potatoes grown for starch only - no diversion from food supplies.

If You Care Certified Compostable Bags meet the requirements of ASTM D6400 and will compost readily and safely in municipal or commercial composting facilities. These do not exist in all areas.

Approximately 80 million tons of waste (US EPA figures) which goes to landfill annually is material which under the right conditions, can be turned into compost, including food scraps, yard trimmings and non-recyclable paper. In a landfill environment, this organic material (food scraps etc.) releases methane gas - a greenhouse gas - contributing to global warming. Diverting food scraps and yard trimmings from landfill to compost facilities - either municipal or commercial in areas where they are available - contributes significantly to preserving our planet and natural resources.

How to Use: These bags are for leaves and compostable yard waste. Grass tends to accelerate the decomposition of these bags, therefore we recommend that you do not leave bags on your lawn for an extended time, nor fill bags entirely with grass clippings. Grass clippings which remain on your lawn decompose quickly and provide nutrients to your lawn. Place bags promptly on pavement or gravel while waiting for collection. Disposal: Bags are 100% certified compostable and should be composted in municipal or commercial compost facilities where available. Cardboard box should be recycled. Store bags in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
